VIDEO QUALITY CAUTION
FRAME RATE NOTICE REGARDING USER-SELECTED OPTIONS
Pelco systems are capable of providing high quality video for both live viewing and playback. However, the systems can be used in lower quality
modes, which can degrade picture quality, to allow for a slower rate of data transfer and to reduce the amount of video data stored. The picture
quality can be degraded by either lowering the resolution, reducing the picture rate, or both. A picture degraded by having a reduced resolution
may result in an image that is less clear or even indiscernible. A picture degraded by reducing the picture rate has fewer frames per second,
which can result in images that appear to jump or move more quickly than normal during playback. Lower frame rates may result in a key event
not being recorded by the system.
Judgment as to the suitability of the products for users’ purposes is solely the users’ responsibility. Users shall determine the suitability of the
products for their own intended application, picture rate and picture quality. In the event users intend to use the video for evidentiary purposes in
a judicial proceeding or otherwise, users should consult with their attorney regarding any particular requirements for such use.

Connecting Alarms
The camera provides an alarm input for external signaling devices, such as door contacts or motion detectors. Both normally open and normally
closed devices are supported.
Supervised Alarms
When an alarm is configured as a supervised alarm, the camera maintains a constant electrical current through the alarm circuit
(3.3 VDC, 1 ohm). If the alarm circuit length changes, due to an electrical short or a bypass, the voltage fluctuates from its normal state and
activates an alarm.
NOTE: Install the 1-kohm resistor as close to the switch as possible.
Figure 10 illustrates the alarm and no alarm conditions of a supervised alarm input. Whether the alarm is normally closed or normally open,
neither a cut nor a bypass can defeat these alarms.

•Image Rate on page 50
PRIMARY STREAM AND SECONDARY STREAM
The Primary Stream and Secondary Stream are video streams that include compression, resolution, image rate, and bit rate settings. The streams
can be set up using a video preset setting, or they can be customized using the video configuration settings.
A video preset is a predefined video configuration that offers a good balance between video performance and bandwidth usage. For easy stream
configuration, use the Video Preset page located in the drop-down menu of the A/V Streams Tab.
To customize the Primary Stream or Secondary Stream use the Video Configuration page located in the drop-down menu of the A/V Streams Tab.
Configurable settings include the stream name, compression standard, resolution setting, image rate, and bit rate. The default names for the
streams are Primary Stream and Secondary Stream; however, if these stream names have been changed, the new names will replace the default
names (Primary Stream and Secondary Stream) on the Select Stream page.
QUICKVIEW STREAM
The QuickView Stream is a predefined JPEG video stream with VGA resolution. This low resolution, low frame rate stream is displayed when the
Imaging Tab settings are configured. This allows users to view changes to exposure, white balance, and tone map settings as they are configured
and before the settings are saved.
The QuickView Stream is also ideal for users who are connected to a network with processor bandwidth limitations that might cause a high
resolution, high frame rate video stream to pause or appear pixilated.
The aspect ratio of the QuickView Stream mirrors that of the Primary Stream. The only stream setting that is selectable is the framerate: 2 ips
or 1 ips.
22 C2950M-E (8/10)
EVENT STREAM
The Event Stream displays a list of alerts triggered by a running behavior (analytic). The alert includes a screen capture, the profile that was
triggered, and the zone where the alert was detected. For the Event Stream to work you must have a behavior profile running. To set up and run
behaviors, use the Analytic Configuration page located in the drop-down menu of the Events Tab.
UNICAST
A unicast transmission sends a separate video stream to each user that is requesting data. Although multiple users might request the same data
from the camera at the same time, duplicate video streams are transmitted to each user. Every unicast user that connects to the camera
consumes additional processing power, which limits the number of simultaneous users who can access the camera.
The camera supports a maximum of 20 simultaneous users.
MULTICAST
A multicast transmission sends data to multiple users at the same time using one transmission stream. Each multicast user that connects to the
camera consumes no additional processing power; therefore, multicast video streams can be sent to an unlimited number of simultaneous users.
TAKING A SNAPSHOT
1. Click the “Take a Snapshot” button.
2. The File Download dialog box opens, and the following message appears: “Do you want to open or save this file?”
3. Select one of the following options:
Open: Your computer’s photo editing program opens and displays the screen image. This function is available only when using
Microsoft®Internet Explorer® 7.0 (or later) or Mozilla® Firefox® 3.0 (or later).
Save: The image is saved as a JPEG file on your computer.
Cancel: The captured image is not saved or displayed and the dialog box closes.
NOTE: If you are using JPEG, the captured image will be the size of the largest MJPEG stream. If you are using MPEG-4 or H.264, the image is
captured using the QuickView Stream, which is approximately VGA resolution.
DISPLAYING VIDEO IN THE MULTISCREEN VIEW
Cameras connected to the same virtual local area network (VLAN) as the camera to which you are logged on can be displayed in a multiscreen
view. Use the 4-camera, 9-camera, or 16-camera view mode buttons to display video from multiple cameras simultaneously.
The camera you are logged on to is the default display for the upper-left video pane in the multiscreen view. The device name for this camera is
displayed in the gray area near the top of the page.
NOTE: Using Primary and Secondary streams in multiscreen view will limit the available processing power and create responsiveness issues for
the camera and PC. If you experience latency issues, set the camera streams to QuickView. Available processing power is determined by the
settings for compression standards, resolution, image rate, bit rate, and analytic configuration.
To select video to display in the individual multiscreen panes:

Network Tab
Use the Network tab to change the camera’s general network settings, select the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) settings, enable Secure Shell (SSH),
configure 802.1x port security, and select Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) settings.
General Network Settings
The General Network page includes configurable and read-only fields for network communication settings. Available settings include the
Hardware Address, Hostname, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Servers.
You can also enable or disable the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server from the General Network page. DHCP automatically
assigns an IP address to the device if there is a DHCP server on the network. If DHCP is set to On, the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS
server settings are read-only text. If DHCP is set to Off, these settings must be manually changed. The default camera setting for DHCP is On.
SSL Settings
To ensure security on the Internet, all Web browsers provide several security levels that can be adjusted for sites that use SSL technology to
transmit data. SSL encrypts communications, making it difficult for unauthorized users to intercept and view user names and passwords.
SSL requires signed certificates to determine if the Web browser accessing the camera has the required authentication. The camera can
generate a certificate signing request (CSR) that can be sent to a certificate authority for a signature (for example, VeriSign®), or it can generate
a self-signed certificate using the Generate Self-Signed Certificate option.
SSH Settings
SSH is a user-enabled protocol that allows Pelco Product Support to log on to and service the camera for advanced troubleshooting purposes.
From this page, users with the appropriate permissions can enable or disable SSH access to the camera.
802.1x
802.1x is a port security that authenticates devices that want to establish a point-to-point access through a wired or wireless port using
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). This port-based authentication method prevents unauthorized access to a Local Area Network (LAN)
through a physical port. For example, when a device is connected to a network port, the network switch will ask the device for authentication.
If the credential is accepted when the device sends a credential to the network switch, the network switch will open the port for normal use.
If authentication fails, the device is prevented from accessing information on the port.
SNMP
SNMP is an application layer protocol used to manage TCP/IP-based networks from a single workstation or several workstations. The camera
supports SNMP versions 2c and 3 and can be configured to send data using a trap.

Imaging Tab
Use the Imaging tab to change the camera’s general image settings, adjust the camera exposure, program the focus mechanism, adjust the tone
map settings to increase scene detail, tune the white balance settings for scenes with fluctuating lighting conditions, or define window blanking
privacy areas.
General Imaging Settings
General imaging settings include adjustments for camera orientation and digital processing. The Orientation settings reconfigure the image
180 degrees horizontally and 180 degrees vertically. Use these settings when installing the camera in an inverted position. If the orientation is
not adjusted, the image will display upside down and mirrored.
Digital processing settings can be set to Auto or Manual to adjust the camera’s sharpness, saturation, and contrast. When set to Auto, the
camera continually delivers the best possible image by automatically adjusting the digital processing settings based on the scene. Auto is the
default setting. Manual digital processing is recommended only for indoor applications that have a single, unchanging primary light source.
Exposure Settings
Exposure is the amount of light detected by the camera sensor. A scene with correct exposure settings has adequate detail and contrast between
white and dark values. An image with too little or too much exposure eliminates detail in the scene. The camera features Auto and Manual
exposure settings. Auto exposure automatically sets the amount of light detected by the camera sensor based on settings for light control,
exposure compensation, and the day and night exposure times. Manual exposure sets the amount of light detected by the camera sensor based
on a user-defined setting. Manual exposure is recommended only for indoor applications that have a single, unchanging primary light source.
Auto is the default setting.
Focus Settings
Focus sets the back focus to the center focal point of the scene. The camera can be configured to back focus automatically or manually. Auto
focus automatically back focuses the camera on the subject in the center of the scene. Manual focus turns off the auto focus mechanism and
locks the camera at a user-specified position. The manual focus setting is recommended only for indoor applications that have a single,
unchanging primary light source. The Focus page also includes Full Range Auto-Focus, Quick Auto-Focus, and a Factory Defaults.
Tone Map Settings
Tone map balances the brightest and darkest sections of a scene to produce an image with more balanced lighting and more detail. This is
accomplished, in part, when the device maps the 10-bit input sensor data (0 to 1023 bits) into 8-bit output RGB values (0 to 255 bits).
White Balance Settings
White balance settings define how the camera processes video images to render true colors in a scene. White balance is especially effective in
scenes with changing lighting conditions or in scenes with more than one type of light source. For example, scenes that benefit from white
balance correction are outdoor scenes, indoor scenes that include a window or door that opens to the outdoors, or indoor scenes that include
both incandescent and fluorescent lighting.
C2950M-E (8/10) 35
Window Blanking Settings
Window blanking is used to conceal user-defined privacy areas. A blanked area appears on the screen as a solid gray window. The camera can
handle up to four blanked windows as long as the total blanked area does not exceed 50 percent of the field of view.

SELECTING AUTO EXPOSURE SETTINGS
Figure 22. Auto Exposure Page
1. Place your mouse pointer over the Imaging tab.
2. Select Exposure from the drop-down menu.
3. Select the Auto mode.
4. Select the Light Control method: Digital Exposure or Auto-Iris Exposure.
Digital Exposure: This setting automatically adjusts the sensor exposure time depending on the light level at the scene. For very bright
scenes, the exposure time is very short and, as the scene becomes less bright, the exposure time is increased until the maximum exposure
time is reached. Digital Exposure is the default setting and provides the best image quality for the majority of scenes.
Auto-Iris Exposure: This setting automatically adjusts the lens iris depending on the light level at the scene. For this setting, the sensor
exposure time is fixed. Select Auto-Iris if the video shows flickering or rolling bands due to 50 Hz or 60 Hz lighting. Most lighting situations
do not require this setting.
38 C2950M-E (8/10)
5. Select the Exposure Optimization setting: Normal or Action. These are optimizations of the Digital Exposure control.
Normal: This setting is for very bright scenes and exposure time is very short. As the scene becomes less bright, the exposure time is
increased until the maximum exposure time is reached. Normal is the default setting.
Action: This setting operates similar to Normal except the short exposure times are used for both bright and mid-level lighting. This
minimizes the blur in video caused by moving objects. For very low light scenes, Action optimization operates the same as Normal,
increasing the exposure time until the maximum exposure time is reached.
6. Set the Exposure Compensation setting. Move the slider bar to the right to brighten the video, or move it to the left to darken the video. The
exposure compensation range is –100 to 100; the default setting is 0 (zero).
7. Color cameras only: Set the Max Exposure Time and Night Max Exposure Time.
Max Exposure Time: This setting controls the maximum time in milliseconds that an image is exposed during daytime conditions.
Decreasing Max Exposure Time reduces the blur caused by fast moving objects as the light dims, but it also reduces the light sensitivity of
the camera. The exposure range is 1 to 500 msec; the default setting is 33.3 msec.
Night Max Exposure Time: This setting controls the maximum time in milliseconds that an image is exposed during dim light, such as
nighttime conditions. Increase this time to increase the light sensitivity of the camera. The exposure range is 1 to 500 msec; the default
setting is 120 msec.
8. Day /night cameras only: Set the Day Max Exposure Time and Night Exposure Time.
Day Max Exposure Time: This setting controls the maximum time in milliseconds that an image is exposed when the camera is in
Day (Color) mode. Decreasing Max Exposure Time reduces the blur caused by fast moving objects as the light dims, but it also reduces the
light sensitivity of the camera. The exposure range is 1 to 500 msec; the default setting is 33.3 msec.
Night Max Exposure Time: This setting controls the maximum time in milliseconds that an image is exposed when the camera is in
Night (black-white) mode. Increase this time to increase the light sensitivity of the camera. The exposure range is 1 to 500 msec; the
default setting is 120 msec.
9. Day/night cameras only: Set the Day Exposure Time and the Night Exposure Time.
Day Exposure Time: This setting is the maximum time in milliseconds that an image is exposed during daytime conditions. Decreasing
exposure time decreases the light sensitivity of the scene and reduces the blur caused by fast moving objects; however, it increases the
amount of noise in the scene. The day maximum exposure time range is 1 to 500 msec; the default setting is 33.3 msec.
Night Exposure Time: This setting is the maximum time in milliseconds that an image is exposed during nighttime (black-white)
conditions. Increase the exposure time to increase light sensitivity of the scene. The night maximum exposure time range is 1 to 500 msec;
the default setting is 120 msec.
10. Day/night cameras only: Set the Day Night mode to Auto or Manual.
Auto: This setting automatically controls the IR cut filter determined by the Transition Level and the Transition Detect settings.
Manual: This setting sets the IR filter to a fixed position. The filter can be set to the Day (color) position or the Night (black-white) position.

1. Place your mouse pointer over the Imaging tab.
2. Select Exposure from the drop-down menu.
3. Select the Manual mode.
4. Move the Analog Gain slider to the desired position. Increasing the gain increases the brightness of the image, but it also increases the
amount of noise in the image. The analog gain range is 1.00 to 15.75; the default setting is 1.00.
5. Move the Exposure Time slider to the desired position. This setting is the maximum time in milliseconds that the sensor is exposed to the
light. Decreasing the maximum exposure time decreases the light sensitivity. The exposure time range is 0.01 to 1000 msec; the default
setting is 15 msec.
6. Day/night cameras only: Set the Day Night Position setting.
Day: Sets the IR filter to the Day (color) position.
Night: Sets the IR filter to the Night (black-white) position.
Refer to the following section for more information:
•Day Night Settings on page 40
40 C2950M-E (8/10)
DAY NIGHT SETTINGS
The Day Night mode controls the position of the IR cut filter, which determines the color or black-white setting of the camera. The Day Night
mode settings change depending on the Exposure settings. If the camera is set to Auto Exposure mode, the Day Night mode can be set to Auto or
Manual and all of the respective settings are available. If the camera is set to Manual Exposure, the only available Day Night mode setting is
Position, which sets the IR filter to either the Day (color) position or the Night (black-white) position.
DAY NIGHT AUTO AND MANUAL MODES
DAY NIGHT AUTO MODE
The Day Night Auto mode setting automatically controls the IR cut filter depending on the Transition Level and Transition Detect Time settings.
Transition Level: Determines when the camera changes from day mode (color) to night mode (black-white). Move the slider to the left or right
to change the transition level to a lighter or darker setting. Select a lighter transition level setting if you want the camera to change modes at a
high lux setting. Use the default setting of 4 for normal day/night operation. Use a darker transition level to change modes at a low lux setting.
Table A. Lux Transition Points for Incandescent Lighting
Transition Detect Time (sec): Controls the length of time the camera is exposed to a light level before it changes to color or black-white mode.
This setting is useful for dark scenes where a bright light is momentarily introduced in the scene (for example, when a car with its headlights
turned on passes the camera scene).
DAY NIGHT MANUAL MODE
The Day Night Manual mode sets the IR cut filter to a fixed position depending on the Position setting. Available settings include Day and Night.
Day: Sets the IR filter to the Day (color) position.
Night: Sets the IR filter to the Night (black-white) position.
NOTE: Position is the only available Day Night setting if the camera exposure is set to Manual.

CONFIGURING AUTO FOCUS SETTINGS
Figure 24. Auto Focus Page
1. Place your mouse pointer over the Imaging tab.
2. Select Focus from the drop-down menu.
3. Select the Auto mode.
4. Set the Temperature Change Refocus setting. The camera is programmed to run a quick automatic focus sequence when the internal
temperature sensor of the camera detects an environmental temperature change of 41°F (5°C). This focus sequence adjusts the center
focal point of the scene to maintain optimal focus. The default setting is On; select Off to turn off this setting.
5. Day/night cameras only: Set the Day/Night Switch Refocus setting. The default setting for the Day/Night Switch Refocus is Off. Select On
if the camera’s focal length is greater than ~25 mm or the night scene uses mostly IR lighting. The best method to determine if the day/night
refocus should be enabled is to test the camera with the daytime light conditions, and then test it again with the nighttime light conditions.
When enabled (On) this setting refocuses the camera when the camera changes from day mode (color) to night mode (black-white) or vice
versa. For example, if the camera changes from day mode to night mode, the imager automatically adjusts the back focus for the change in
light.
6. If required, use one of the following buttons to adjust the focus:
Full Range Auto-Focus: The camera starts a full-range search to find the optimal focal point for the scene.
Quick Auto-Focus: The camera searches for the optimal focal point in a limited range.
Restore Setings to Defaults: The camera resets the auto focus to the factory default setting.

A/V Streams Tab
Use the A/V Streams tab to configure the video and audio streams for the camera. The A/V Streams tab includes a Video Presets page, a Video
Configuration page, and an Audio Configuration page.
Video Presets
The Video Preset page includes three fully-configured video presets, which include primary and secondary video stream settings for easy setup.
These presets may also be used as a starting point for a custom video configuration. These preset configurations vary depending on camera
model.
Video Configuration
The Video Configuration page allows you to customize the compression, resolution, image rate, and bit rate of the video streams. The default
names for the streams are Primary Stream and Secondary Stream. Although each stream can be configured independently, the settings of one
stream can limit the options available to the other stream, depending on the processing power used.
NOTE: Always configure the primary stream before the secondary stream. The primary stream should always be the most resource-intensive of
the streams.
Audio Configuration
The Audio Configuration page allows you to setup an external audio device. The default setting for Audio is disabled, which means that no audio
is transmitted from the camera. When enabled, audio is transmitted from the camera to the PC. Based on your system configuration, images and
audio may not be synchronized.
Not all camera models are equipped with an internal audio device. Refer to the specifications for your camera model for information.
NOTE: Improper use of audio/visual recording equipment may subject you to civil and criminal penalties. Applicable laws regarding the use of
such capabilities vary between jurisdictions and may require, among other things, express written consent from the recorded subjects. You are
solely responsible for insuring strict compliance with such laws and for strict adherence to any/all rights of privacy and personalty.

50 C2950M-E (8/10)
COMPRESSION STANDARDS
JPEG: A commonly used video compression scheme, also known as MJPEG. JPEG has the least impact on the camera’s processor, but it requires
the most bandwidth.
MPEG-4 (available only with 0.5 megapixel model): A full-motion video standard used by most DVD recorders. MPEG-4 is less
processor-intensive than JPEG, but it uses more bandwidth than H.264.
H.264: A new version of MPEG-4 compression used in high-definition video players such as Blu-ray™ and HD-DVD. H.264 is the most
processor-intensive, but it requires the least amount of bandwidth.
AVAILABLE CAMERA RESOLUTION
Refer to the following table for the resolution capabilities of your camera model
Table B. Available Camera Resolution
IMAGE RATE
The image rate is the number of images per second (ips) available for the video stream configuration. Available image rates are 30, 25, 24, 15,
12.5, 12, 10, 8, 7.5, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.5, 2, and 1.
NOTE: The maximum image rate setting might not be obtainable due to the programmed compression standard and the resolution of the stream.

C2950M-E (8/10) 51
BIT RATE
The bit rate is the quality of the video stream (rendered in kilobits per second). The higher the value, the higher the video quality and bandwidth
required.
NOTE: When you change any of the video stream configuration settings, the camera automatically adjusts the bit rate. If you manually reduce
the bit rate lower than the camera's automatic setting, the image quality might be reduced and the stream selection options might be limited.
I-FRAME INTERVAL
The I-frame interval configures the number of partial frames that occur between full frames in the video stream. For example, in a scene where a
door opens and a person walks through, only the movements of the door and the person are stored by the video encoder. The stationary
background that occurs in the previous partial frames is not encoded, because no changes occurred in that part of the scene. The stationary
background is only encoded in the full frames. Partial frames improve video compression rates by reducing the size of the video. As the I-frame
interval increases, the number of partial frames increases between full frames. Higher values are only recommended on networks with high
reliability. This setting is only available with H.264 and MPEG-4 compression standards.
QUALITY OF SERVICE FOR DIFFERENTIATED SERVICES CODE POINT
Quality of Service (QoS) for Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is a code that allows the network to prioritize the transmission of different
types of data. This setting is only available with H.264 and MPEG-4 compression standards.
NOTES:
• If you are not familiar with DSCP, contact your network administrator before changing this setting.
• Your network must be configured to use QoS. If you are unsure if your network is QoS-aware, contact your network administrator.
ENDURA SIGNING
Enabling the Endura Signing feature allows an Endura® system to authenticate video from an Endura recorded stream. This setting is only
available with H.264 and MPEG-4 compression standards.
ADVANCED SHARPENING
The Advanced Sharpening setting enhances picture detail by sharpening the edges in the picture. When this mode is enabled, there is a trade-off
between image quality and the resources required for processing power. The maximum camera resolution and image rate will not be available,
but the edges of the image seem sharper. Only use this setting if you cannot achieve the sharpness level you want by adjusting the digital
processing settings of the camera. The default setting for Advanced Sharpening is Off.
52 C2950M-E (8/10)
SELECTING THE AUDIO CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
To use audio with the camera you must have an audio device connected to the accessory port located on the back of the camera. Once the device
is connected, audio can only be enabled through the primary stream.
Audio and video may not be synced when viewing and listening to the primary stream through a Web browser. You may experience a
three-second delay in video when viewing the primary stream with audio.
NOTE: Improper use of audio/visual recording equipment may subject you to civil and criminal penalties. Applicable laws regarding the use of
such capabilities vary between jurisdictions and may require, among other things, express written consent from the recorded subjects. You are
solely responsible for insuring strict compliance with such laws and for strict adherence to any/all rights of privacy and personalty.

Events Tab
Use the Events tab to configure camera events and analytics.
Events are activated by user-defined event sources that tell the device how to react when an event occurs. Event handlers are the actions that
the device takes when an event occurs. For example, a system source can be configured to send email to an operator if the system shuts-down
and restarts.
Sources
The camera supports one physical input alarm source, a system source, and a timer source. The Alarm source is the camera input for an external
signaling device, such as a door contact or motion detector. The System source is activated when the camera restarts. The Timer source is a
user-defined event that activates an event after a specified amount of time. For example, the timer can be activated every 60 seconds to save an
image to an SD card.
Handlers
The device supports a Send Email handler, a “Write JPEG to SD Card handler,” and an “Upload JPEG to FTP Server handlers.” The Send Email
handler sends an email to a defined email address when an event is activated. The “Write JPEG to SD Card” saves a JPEG of the activated event
to an SD card. The “Upload JPEG to FTP Server” saves a JPEG of the activated event to a defined FTP server.
Analytic Configuration
Pelco analytics can be configured and enabled using a standard Web browser. The device is preloaded with Pelco’s Camera Sabotage behavior,
which detects contrast changes in the field of view. An alarm is triggered if the lens is obstructed with spray paint, a cloth, or covered with a lens
cap. Any unauthorized repositioning of the camera also triggers an alarm.
Pelco analytics are also compatible with Endura® or a third-party system that supports Pelco’s Analytics API system. Refer to the specific product
documentation for instructions on how to configure and enable Pelco analytics.
NOTE: Analytic alerts can be seen in the event stream, but alarms are only transmitted through the analytics API.

ANALYTIC CONFIGURATION
Figure 37. Analytic Configuration Page
To configure the Camera Sabotage behavior using a standard Web browser, you must create a profile, activate the behavior, and select the
behavior-specific settings for the profile.
Camera Sabotage uses the following behavior-specific settings:
Delay before alarm: Defines the delay between the time a violation is detected and the actual trigger of an alarm. If the violation stops within
the delay period, no alarm is triggered. If the violation lasts longer than the delay period, an alarm is triggered. The default setting is 10 seconds.
Alarm severity: Defines the severity level of an alarm. Available settings include Minor, Normal, Major and Critical. The default setting
is Minor.
NOTE: Analytic alerts can be seen in the event stream, but alarms are only transmitted through the analytics API.
